Apr 1, 2008 3:12 PM

Pivot3 Inc., a developer of high-definition storage, has announced its Pivot3 High-Definition Storage Alliance program, with 30 industry-leading vendors that have already committed to the program. The alliance program is designed to help users simplify the deployment and speed adoption of open video surveillance systems, using high-capacity, high-bandwidth Pivot3 High-Definition Storage.

The Pivot3 HD Storage Alliance includes leading camera vendors and open video management companies who are certified with Pivot3 High-Definition Storage. Certified HD Storage Alliance members can take advantage of numerous program benefits such as pre-sales configuration assistance, system installation support, dedicated post-sales support and joint marketing.

“Vendors now see the potential of working together to deliver the latest storage and video surveillance technologies to their customers,” says Dilip Sarangan, Frost & Sullivan research analyst. “The interoperability of these solutions is vital for end-users, and Pivot3 is at the forefront with an eco-system of partners directing their efforts at seamless integration of their technologies in joint customer environments.”

“The timing is perfect,” says Scott Bartlett, CEO of Southwest Surveillance. “The Pivot3 HD Storage Alliance gives us the confidence to put together large-scale surveillance and security systems, knowing that the pieces have been tested together and that these vendors are committed to making it work in the field.”

“The HD Storage Alliance helps open-system companies work together in the field,” says Lee Caswell, chief marketing officer at Pivot3. “By working together, these companies simplify large-scale installations for resellers and end-users. We have a dedicated application lab that provides configuration assistance and simulation tools, a sales engineering team that offers on-site installation assistance for seamless deployment, and an operations team of industry veterans that can even pre-stage key components to ensure flawless deployment without downtime.”

Pivot3 High-Definition Storage is a clustered storage array, which aggregates capacity and bandwidth using the company’s RAIGE (RAID across Gigabit Ethernet) technology. For large-scale centralized installations such as casinos, airports, seaports, correctional facilities and railways, Pivot3 storage introduces a new level of system fault tolerance that eliminates planned downtime.
